Blood pressure during surgery and recovery after Whipple procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how low blood pressure during a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) affects lactate levels after surgery, which is a marker of how well your body is recovering. It helps doctors understand how to manage blood pressure to improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are scheduled to have an open Whipple procedure (a surgery to remove part of the pancreas and duodenum)
- You do not have severe heart disease (NYHA class III or IV)
- You do not have cirrhotic liver disease
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or recently given birth
- Your anesthesia risk (ASA score) is 3 or lower

This study compares two ways of monitoring your heart function during Whipple surgery (pancreas removal). Doctors will use different monitoring approaches to guide fluid and medication during your operation to help you recover better.
This trial studies two blood measurements (lactate levels and a ratio of CO2 and oxygen) to see if they can predict how well you recover after a Whipple procedure. The goal is to help doctors better manage your care after surgery.
This trial is testing whether draining the main pancreatic and bile ducts during a Whipple procedure can lower the risk of a pancreatic leak. The study focuses on people with a higher chance of this complication.
This study looks at whether measuring a blood test called lactate after surgery can help prevent infections inside the belly. You may be eligible if you recently had pancreas surgery and your lactate rises above a certain level within 24 hours.
This study compares two surgical cutting methods on the pancreas during a laparoscopic Whipple-type operation. It aims to see which method is safer and leads to better recovery when removing certain non-cancerous or cancer tumors in the bile duct or pancreas head area.
This study looks at people having planned Whipple surgery (a type of pancreas surgery) to understand why some develop a leak called a pancreatic fistula. Researchers will study your blood and immune system to find ways to predict and prevent this complication.
